As of 6/18/2008, what is THE most important issue facing the USA? Ok, fine, pick 3. Too hard to narrow it down to one, but the poll requires YOUR top issue.

Illegal Immigration?
Terrorism?
Iraq?
Gas prices/Economy?
Gun rights?
Lower taxes? Higher taxes?
College tuition?
Government dictated health care?
"Global Warming"?
Globalization/Trade issues/ job outsourcing?
Social issues (gay marriage, abortion, etc)?
Iranian nuclear weapons program/WWIII?
Government corruption?
Mortgage issues? Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Kent Conrad (D-ND) getting sweetheart deals from crooked sub-prime lenders, anyone?
National Security?
Foreign/International relations?

Here are my 3 picks: Economy/gas prices, illegal immigration, and social issues (abortion, gun rights, and gay marriage).

What are yours? You are welcome to make up your own and write it in. Don't forget to vote!

The single most important issue is our condition of energy slavery toward some very unsavory parts of the world, as opposed to energy independence.

So I take you do not go for the Obama Kool-Aid, where you do not drill, pay a lot for gas, and HOPE alternative sources of energy will come out in the next 10 years?

I want to drill the living daylights out of the gulf. NOT by Tampa or Miami, but farther out in the gulf, like the CHINESE are doing in the Gulf!

I think Americans are stopping being stupid and being controlled by 1% of the population (the radical San Francisco environmentalists) and demand we become energy independent, by drilling, using nuclear power, improving refining capacities, and in the meantime, trying to develop energy sources.





LET'S NOT SEND 1 MORE DOLLAR TO DICTATORS AND BARBARIANS WHO WANT TO KILL US! YES, TALKING TO IRAN, VENEZUELA, ETC!!

I think the top 3 issues are THE MOST IMPERATIVE for America's recuperation.. for lack of a better word.

All of the other issues are significant, but Issue #1 is America's Money

You need to add "Complete the job in Iraq" that we started.

Too many to put them all down.

War on Terror/ Our protection
Economy/ Oil Prices / Drill Oil now
Fix Social Security for those who have earned and paid into it
Stop Illegal immigration completely
End Welfare totally and all social freebies
No free healthcare
Force people to work for food and housing ( only those who are totally disabled and verified by 3 doctors will get any help )
Stop companies from leaving America and bringing back items to sell back to us.
Build a more powerful military
End abortion and gay marriage
Creation of manufacturing jobs in the US
